Rihanna - Disturbia

Hiphopper - Thomas Rusiak feat. Teddybears Sthlm

i always thought he sang "I'm a head popper yes i am", but turns out its not. i came across this on the web: Misheard song lyrics (also called mondegreens) occur when people misunderstand the lyrics in a song. These are NOT intentional rephrasing of lyrics, which is called parody. [Making fun of music: ]

also. lookat this trio featuring Victoria Bergsman of The Concretes. its pretty genious all over.Peter, Bjorn & John - Young Folks

this is a classic, one of the first vids the norwegian duo royksopp made. its so great and 90's.Røyksopp - "Eple"

Into the Wild is a movie based on the true story of Christopher McCandless. After he graduated from university in Atlanta, he disappeared, seemingly without trace. He drove out west in search of adventure, in effect to find himself. On the course of his journey, he lost his car in a flash flood, and ended up walking, canoeing and camping to continue his journey. In his desire to find meaning, he eradicated his identity, burning his driving license and social security card, and reinvented himself as “Alexander Supertramp”. He was convinced that the way to find true meaning and happiness was to go into the wild, so he headed for Alaska, woefully unprepared.

After buying and watching this movie yesterday, i was struck. it mad a huge impression on me. possibly the most inspiring movie i have ever seen. it made me think i should book a ticket to australia and burn all my savings and shave my head. i would hich-hike into the outback and live in harmony with the aboriginals. i would drink beer before noon and meet extraordinary people whom i would never come across later in life. i wouldn't even have a camera as proof of my experiences, because it would be something for me and no one else. i would only have pictures as memories in my head. i would tell stories to strangers by a bonfire and get bad tattoes on my forearm. i would have nothing but the clothes i was wearing and a journal to write down my thoughts. and if i died during a paracute jump, it wouldn't matter, because i died happily.

in other news, in my real life:
- today i went to a cafe and met up with a friend i havent seen since i was 11 years old. we were nastolgic and it was two very nice hours.

- i saw a delluted guy trying to park his beatup van, smashing it twice in a row, even though i tried giving him directions. he just laughed. i laughed back and the whole situation was very comical. he was probably drunk but i found it quite amusing.

This is what I'm contemplating upon this late wednesday night:- Can a woman have sex like a man?

I raise the question if women are capable of having sex with no ‘feelings’(as many would agree is how men can have sex)? Are women genetically programmed to want sex to ‘mean’ something? Or, to put it another way, is there really any difference between the genders when it comes to the issue of casual sex?

I was inspired to write some random thoughs on this subject after watching an episode of 'Sex in the City', where Carrie wrote an issue on this question. Personally, I am not so sure. Don't get me wrong; I would love to agree to this statementthe and by that have a feminist perspective on sex. Because along with the sexual revolution, there's shouldn't be any reason as to why women, supposedly, feel bad after casual sex.

But in all honesty, I just can't get my head around the idea of having 'emotionless' sex, without any form of meaning or conseqenses. Some would say "its just sex", but in reality, it's never just sex. I think that females who make sex a 'sport', somewhere down the road end up phychically damaged. I think it lies in every womans nature to ask moral questions to themselves. Age and amount of experience should also be considered into this.

I think 'one night stands' are OKAY, as long as its not practiced too often. For some women, chasing highs -in the meaning of having free sex- might be experienced as a power trip. Sure, you can have fun with a guy for one night only... But if this becomes an addiction, the person involved would end up hurt on a psychological level. Much like drugs, sex is a short term pleasure that, when handled incorrectly, can lead to serious long-term problems. Because by having sex like amimals, you downgrade yourself to become a product. And human beings are more than simple products. We have feelings, we have conciousness, we have independent thoughts and we ask questions as to why things are the way they are. Meaning, life's not a game. If you make sex a game, somewhere along the play, you will lose. And after doing so, you realize the only one playing this game, is yourself.

My view: If someone is having sex with you only for the sake of sex; he/her doesn't respect you enough to have a relationship with you. And that's not sufficient. We are more intelligent beings than that. This is what seperates us from the other creatues on the earth. If we do so, we are but simple animals. There's gotta be more.

Therefore, no. I do not think women can have sex like men, or should I say animals. Which raises another question; can men really have sex with no feelings? Or is this just a view that's enforced on us by the macho community we're living in? I'm positive that there are men that are hurt by one-nighters; who feels bad or empty of whatever... They just can't express their feelings as much as woman are able to. And at that; who's really the most envolved sex? Are women and men genetically bound to have different view on sex? Eventhough both sexes have conciousness; men are bound by hundreds of thousands of years of DNA breeding... Maybe the act of reproduction just lies in mens nature. I guess the answer is not black and white.

“Conventional feminism teaches that control of your body means the freedom to have sex without consequences — sex like a man. ‘I am an unconventional feminist, in the sense that she asserts control by choosing not to have sex — by telling men, no, absolutely not.” - Harvard student and abstinence-crusader Janie Fredell.

I've never bought you flowers, I can't work out what they meanAnd I try to remember who I used to beI got one last chance to get myself togetherTime has come for me to change againI can't carry on like this I will lose my friendsWant you here tonight, want you here And your mouth, your mouth, your mind And I hope, that my sanity covers the cost I wanna hear what you want What the hell do you want? God that was strange to see you againIntroduced by a friend of a friendSmiled and said "yes I think we've met before"In that instant it started to pourAnd time stopped moving I was trying to remember your nameYou tried to reach deep but you couldn't get inIt's nothing but time and a face that you'll loseI chose to feel it and you couldn't chooseLive through this and you won't look backYou were what I wanted, I gave what I gaveI'm not sorry there's nothing to saveYour wildness scares me So does your freedomYou say you can't stand the restrictionsI find myself trying to change youIf you were meant to be my lover I wouldn't have toI'm another ex-girlfriend on your listBut I should have thought of that before we kissed
